Spencer Kuvin spoke on behalf of his client, who was not present at the news conference, saying, Playboy's Hugh Hefner should also be held accountable for his part in the alleged assault.

"We have alleged in our complaint and we believe we can prove at this time that not only is Mr. Cosby responsible for the heinous acts against our client and many other women, but that Mr. Hefner was complicit in not only our incident, but for a history of violence against women," said Kuvin.

The complaint suggests Hefner allowed Cosby to abuse women while on his property.
